Normalizing fact-free arguments - it's like they're consciously refusing the top of the argument pyramid...and it's got more upvotes than this site has users :(

I feel sorry for the folks that will let fake internet points taint their world view and pull them to the bottom of the pyramid.

On some level, I guess that is why social media works, because we all collectively care about these "points" as individuals on some level.

In the broader scope of things, you might be able to make a solid analogy between Reddit karma and fiat currency when analyzing how they both taint culture but I'm too lazy to do it here.

I'd love to believe that those upvotes were all purchased by some leftist shill, but then I think about all the megachurch attendees and realize that's actually a lowball estimate for the number of morons we have to deal with.
